Pistons look to Ben Wallace to bring NBA Lottery luck, No. 1 pick Wembanyama

Detroit — The Detroit Pistons are hoping that Ben Wallace will bring them lottery luck for the second time in three years.

The former Pistons big man will represent the organization in Chicago on Tuesday night during the NBA Draft Lottery, the team announced Thursday evening.

Wallace served as the Pistons' representative for the 2021 lottery and Detroit received the No. 1 overall pick that resulted in Cade Cunningham. Last offseason, the Pistons sent Wallace's "Goin' to Work" teammate, Richard "Rip" Hamilton, to Chicago for the lottery, and the team wound up with the fifth pick, which they used to select Jaden Ivey, who earned All-Rookie second team honors.
